Anyone:
I am finishing up a Lancair 235 with a Mazda 13B and have encountered
(another) problem.

The kit is an old one and the Hydraulic Cylinders for operating the
retractable gear are leaking through from the high pressure side to the low
pressure.  The kit is about 12 years old (I bought it from someone else) and
the seals have probably dried out or taken a set which causes the leaks.

Can I buy a repair kit and do it myself?

Can I send them to someone for rebuild?

Are they junk and I need new ones?

Any ideas appreciated.

Yes.
You should be able to take those apart and replace the O-rings.
